The Paid Villainess Fell First
724 Views · Ongoing · Zara Thorne
My best friend pays me to be the villainess in her love life.
When Sophie fell for the class genius, I led the mean girls. When she chose the campus heartthrob, I played the spoiled heiress he couldn’t shake. The money was good. My acting was terrible. And nobody was supposed to fall for anybody—least of all me.
Then Nolan Pierce started answering only my real texts.
Now Sophie’s new target is the campus bad boy, I’m halfway through a fake slap in a back alley, and the two men we once fooled are standing at the other end—one in black, one in white, both done being played.
The script is falling apart. The only question is whether I’m brave enough to stop acting.
